In this episode, we dive into the complexities of discussing taboo health topics like vomit, poop, and body image, thanks to inspiration from a podcast episode of Mushroom Case Daily by ABC, covering the Erin Patterson mushroom case. We reflect on societal judgments around weight loss surgery and the nuances of body image, and bring into focus how avoiding these conversations can lead to untreated chronic health issues. From detailing the perfect poop to discussing how health stigma affects well-being, join us for a lighter-than-usual but still insightful look at the nuances in naturopathy (and how 2 naturopaths naturally react to mainstream news!)~

The Nuanced Naturopaths Podcast is a friendly conversation between two friends, us! Karinda and Julie. We’re passionate about finding the nuance in natural health. As degree-qualified naturopaths, we like to ask the questions that need to be asked - about all aspects of health, healing and well-being. We delight in questioning firmly held beliefs and finding the nuance in all subjects health-related and beyond. Sometimes it can get a little technical, but hopefully we explain things in a way that's accessible to anyone interested in natural health, whether you’re a practitioner or someone who wants to learn more and optimise your wellbeing. It’s a chat about poop, periods and everything in between - buckle up for a laugh, a cry and for some things you are yet to consider about your health! Stay nuanced!
